The Suzuki RM model first appeared in 1975 in 125cc capacity, and were soon followed by larger capacity versions the next year. They were an out-and-out off-road competition machine and were produced in a number of capacities over the years from 125 up to 500cc. Various incarnations of the RM series were produced, and some are still in production. The engine of this special is from a Yamaha XT500 dating from circa 1979, and the frame is believed to be post-1980. The vendor advises us that this special was campaigned by a Dutch rider who participated in various European motocross events.
Believed to be an older restoration, it has been part of the collection for some years, and will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
